Strength & Hope Card Class - Join the Cause and Stamp Out Breast Cancer!

Join the Cause and Stamp Out Breast Cancer!



As part of our Making a Difference program, Stampin' Up! is proud to partner with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in the Strength & Hope Campaign.

Throughout the 2011 Summer Mini Catalogue sales period, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each Strength & Hope set and Strength & Hope digital kit to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

I was inspired by this campaign and by friends of mine who are participating in the Walk to End Women’s Cancers in June. In honor of close friends and all women out there, who have battled and are currently battling this disease, I am hosting a fundraiser for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.



We will make four cards, all using the Strength and Hope stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue. Proceeds from this class ($8 from each participant’s fee) will be donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation along with 20% of all product purchased at the event.


Class details

When: Monday, May 30th - 7pm to 9pm
Where: My home in Barrhaven (Ottawa, ON)

Cost:
$15 for 4 cards
$30 for 4 cards and includes the Strength & Hope clear stamp
$35 for 4 cards and includes the Strength & Hope wood stamp set
($8 from each participant’s fee will be donated to the ORCF)

We are getting ready to sell our house so needless to say that things are busy.  Trying to get a house ready to sell with two young boys sure can be challenging at times.  I told my husband tonight that we either have to eat out every night or eat raw food until this house sells! Oh! And the kids can't touch anything!!! I am sure that's gonna work out *wink*

Well enough about that! Want to join in on some stamping fun this week!?  Join me for my monthly card class. See all the details below :-)
